Our Land Buyers play a critical role in the overall success of the business, and we’ll ensure you have all the tools needed to be successful. You can be expected to be trusted, respected, and supported in your career with us.

Our in-house team of experts, which include Architects, Planners, Technical, Legal, Commercial and Construction teams, enable you to create offers efficiently and effectively, drawing from their wealth of experience and specialist knowledge. Our Colleagues, including Senior Management, are very much land focused and work together towards our aligned goals.

About you


We are looking for motivated, ambitious, and proactive people to join us at this exciting time. You’ll have a genuine passion for land acquisition and development, and be keen to build your skills, knowledge, and experience.

You’ll have previous Land Buying experience within the property sector, but this does not need to be within residential, as many of our successful Land Buyers have joined us with a background in land acquisition from the commercial, retail and hospitality sectors. We also have Colleagues who joined us directly from Property and Land Agencies.

There are a range of roles within the Land teams but what everyone here has in common is an unwavering passion for their work, dedication, self-motivation, and a hunger for success.

This is supported by a strong desire and support from the Executive Directors to secure good quality sites for our developments.

We are looking for people who are confident and competent drivers, with a valid UK drivers’ licence as you’ll be spending a large proportion of your time out of the office.
